When I launch the game, I get the "HL2 has stopped working" and the game crashes/closes.

I tried with -novid and that didn't work either.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate.

Edit: NVM, I fixed it. Just updated my Visual c++ and direct X. For some reason that fixed it..

Sometimes when you alt tab out of the game for long periods of time, it will also crash.  Just letting you know.

I suppose that's the graphics card clearing memory for rendering other stuff and not properly reinitialising, so the game tries to use the resources it assumes to have still loaded, but fails to do so due to the clearing. But that's a thing that comes with the Source engine, I'd say.

I blame Valve.
